Heraklion – The Vibrant Capital of Crete

As the island’s largest city and main port, Heraklion is a dynamic blend of history, culture, and modern life. Home to the world-famous Palace of Knossos, it offers visitors a glimpse into the advanced Minoan civilization, the oldest in Europe. The Heraklion Archaeological Museum showcases an incredible collection of Minoan artifacts, while the historic Koules Fortress guards the city’s picturesque old port. Strolling along the lively seafront promenade, you’ll find countless cafés, restaurants, and shops that reflect the city’s vibrant character.
